I for one will be sleeping soundly tonight knowing we're under their skin.

Semi-finalists, dickheads!

Has a lot of bylines in his bio but not one permanent employment.

When you see the state of click bait journalism in the world today, if you can’t even be employed in that world that says a lot about your abilities.

The commentary team I had were excellent...not sure of the commentator's name but he was alongside Andy Townsend who clearly wanted City to win.

There was a cry of dismay when KDB hit the bar and when Foden scored you could hear Townsend say 'yes' under his breath.

Was it CBS? Jim Proudfoot & Andy Townsend?

Think it was Bein coverage here, defo Townsend as the co-commentator.

I didn't watch the BT coverage tonight. I know Walton initially said 'no penalty' initially, but did he say 'I think the referee's got that right' when VAR confirmed it was a penalty?

He said according to the rules it was no penalty. Then post match Jake Humphreys said he spoke to him and was told that the referees likely thought the same as Jenas (his arm being in that position and the header being deliberate are more relevant than the ricochet at close range). However to cover his back he then added that really VAR didn't overturn it because the initial decision hadn't been a clear and obvious error, and had the penalty not been given VAR wouldn't have awarded the penalty for the same reason.

I wonder if he was this vague with his match reports?

Bent f*cker.

Whines about petro clubs but has Al Jazeera in his bylines.

How many of the English sports tabloid media are desperate for an all English final?

The main commentator was Guy Mowbray. He'll be doing the FA Cup Semi on Saturday.
